Using an Edrill vs drilling a ComposiLok / JoBolt. The removal of blindbolt fasteners (JoBolt, ComposiLok, VisuLok, RadialLok etc.) using a traditional twist drill can take up to 810 minutes to remove manually. The Edrill can complete the task in much less time (watch the video)... These are typically the most difficult Fasteners to Remove and the most Damage Prone. Titanium variants of these fasteners used on composite airframe structure are especially challenging.

For those of you who don’t know Perfect Point, our latest generation Edrill Pro 150 Series provides forceless electrodischarge machining (EDM) cutting for repeatable accuracy and effectiveness on a scale that conventional twist drilling cannot. You can consistently remove the head or collar from hardmetal fasteners (titanium, steel, and nickel alloys) in less than 10 seconds with a minuscule damage rate (less than 1%), versus the more common five to seven minutes demanded by standard twist drills. What’s more, easytouse alignment tools ensure accurate cuts with no damage to the parent structure.

Using the Edrill, you could:

Reduce labor cost and lost time
Improve accuracy and cut damage rates from 20% to less than 1%
Eliminate FOD due to drilling debriss
Protect mechanics from careerending injuries
Prevent unwanted exposure to noisedriven hearing loss
